Brooklyn WINS greatly excited yesterday
over the uncertainty Of the Mayoralty cleo
ton until TIL WORLD bulletin announced
that Alfred O. Chaplin, the Democratic candi-
date, had been elected by o small majority.
The latest official figures in the Mayoralty
contest throughout the city give Chaplin,
Democrat, 81, $50; Baird, Republican, 5o,977;

bition, 2,04a. Chapin's plurality is 1908.
It was d day Of surprises. Had the Repub-
lican ticket been victorious throughout it
would have caused hardly less establishment,
and in many quarters no more ~disappoint-
ment, than did the election Of O.
d. Rhinehart, Republican candidate for
Sheriff. II was conceded throughout
election day that he was receiving the unani-
nous support of the voters of the Eastern
District and q share of outside endorsement,
but Furey's friends hoped and even expected
to counteract hat influence by the county
as the support Of q large number of Republi-
can votes which his ability and political wis
dom presumably had secured. But despite
all this Rhinehart, with over 5000 plurality
behind him, was elected. In his "
his own. a strong Democratic opposition
being manifested, and in the trading
and scratching, which formed q feature Of
the political work there, he suffered more,
perhaps. than any candidate on the City or
planned from the references to be drawn
from the comparisons. Clancy, United Labor
candidate f9r mayor, ppiied ialr
pected, while Utter, Prohibition, was practi-
cally out of the fight. .
With the small Democratic plurality and
the defeat Of Furey; came the defeat OF
from the Fourth District, n the election of
Jacob Worth, Republican. Ever since the
campaign opened there have been no more
sanguine followers Of any political candi-
date than the friends of Farrell.
In the Second Senatorial District James F;
Pierce, Democrat, was elected over Seward
and Beatty, United Labor and Prohibition
candidates respectively. There was no
practical opposition offered by the Republ-
cans.
In the Third Senatorial District Eugene F.
O'Connor, Republican, was elected over
Ross. Democrat, by about 2 800 plurality. In
this fight there was almost rs much interest
shown as in the battle in the Fourth.
was an earnest one. .Quintard, Fitchie,
Waters and Stokes, the latter respect
lively representing the United Labor
and Prohibition tickets being in the
field. The fight was by. no means
q one = sided one, as the returns
show. Candidate Quintard, according to
the latest returns, has been elected, although
with a small plurality. This leads the
friends of Richie to hope that q recount will
materially change the appearance of things,
and it is fikely that a recount will be asked.
According to the outlook now, the Assem-
blymen will stand nine Democrats to three
Republicans, and the Senate two Republi'
cans to one Democrat.
In the countay towns of Flatbush, Graves
end and New Utrecht the Democrats are
charged with trading right and left, and
counter charges are brought against the Re.
publicans.
The State ticket as regards Brooklyn was
successful. Latest returns from King County
show Cooks plurality to be 12,071.
Cook polled 81, $50 votes and Grant Al, 489.
Henry George surprised every B~rooklynite
by receiving 15,433 votes. Huntington re.
